Could improvements to JHA techniques have eliminated the flash fires and explosion?

What were the company’s responsibilities related to identifying combustible dust hazards based on the absence of an OSHA standard for combustible dusts? Be sure to distinguish between physical and health hazards.

How do you believe JHAs should be used in the process safety management (PSM) program? Explain how an effective job hazard analysis improves the effectiveness of a safety and health management program.
